a clinical study of camrelizumab with or without radiotherapy in the treatment of esophageal cancer

Conditions: Esophageal Cancer

Summary: the purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab combined with or without radiotherapy for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic esophageal cancer that has progressed after chemotherapy

in china, the incidence of esophageal cancer has declined in recent years, but the mortality rate has been ranked fourth. morbidity and mortality were ranked sixth and fourth in all malignancies, respectively. therefore, esophageal cancer has always been a major malignant tumor that threatens the health of our residents. we designed a multi-center, randomized controlled, phase ii clinical study of camrelizumab with or without radiotherapy for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic esophageal cancer that has progressed after chemotherapy. the purpose of this study is to observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab with or without radiotherapy for advanced esophageal cancer.
